I’ve begun testing Hardy Heron and I’ve already found some bugs. So in the interest of getting the best OS possible I’m going to try and report all bugs I find and track their status prior to the final release. I’m sure I’ll make updates to this post as I go.

Sure there are a lot of updates and other niceness but today I got excited about some new packages that haven’t been present in past releases. I’ve included them with others that I’ve mentioned in the past. So here are packages that are new in Ubuntu 8.10 but that I plan to use immediately.

I’m not sure if there is really more to this release than average but it seems like there are more changes I’m interested in than in some past Ubuntu releases. I thought it would be good to compile a list and then do a review after the release. I also want to try and find issues that I want addressed that haven’t been so I can push for their inclusion before it is too late.
